Not all TSA employees are the unfriendly, humorless stereotypes they are portrayed to be. I was going through Newark airport (often one of the worst in my experience)and had inavertantly left a bottle of water in my carry-on bag. I was pulled over and asked to open my bag. She extracted the offending bottle and scowled at me. Then she also withdrew my pack of 200 cigarettes and wagged a stern finger in my direction. Whatever is wrong with that?, I wondered, then watched as she slowly rolled up her sleeve to reveal a nicotine patch!! Brilliant!! If only they were all like this, wouldn't flying be so much more pleasant? - for all of us.

Maybe if I were rich like Roger Federer I'd be all right with that situation, but those ladies just took a bag full of chocolate away. That has to be at least 1,000 pieces; if we assume a wholesale price of $.10 per piece, that's $100 + luggage that just evaporated because of two moderately attractive females. This is serious business.

Of course, I would never be in that situation, since I prefer the blue balls. Which signify dark chocolate.

I must admit, it was pretty fun to watch even though I had a similar TSA-style search at BRU. I just wish that all TSA guards were as pretty as the ones on this commercial, then I would gladly give in to being strip-searched :P

Who have already proved they can't be trusted to take that responsibility seriously (eg the 'small package' incident.
